Just seen on Twitter Front page of Thursdays Daily Record saying that if we win semi vs Falkirk the season will be extended into June for the play offs.....
Apparently all teams involved in the play offs will then have countless players out of contract as they are due to run out end May.
Interested to see what the full story is bit sounds like more chaos ahead for SPFL....

I'll bet my bottom dollar that it somehow benefits them the most.

On reading the title, I'd though they'd maybe tried to add another round of matches since newhun are playing a bit better.

What are the rules on trialists?
edit: regarding the Rangers ban on signings Swally said "“We can’t play any trialists in the League Cup. And in the league we can play two trialists three times as long as their ITC is in Scotland."Last edited by Viva_Palmeiras; 16-04-2015 at 06:09 AM.

Loan players could be a problem though, if they are would that just be Watson, Mcgeoch and Oxley?

Same for rangers. The 5 Newcastle players will be ineligible won't they?

Meanwhile we'd lose a number of first team regulars.

Vukic could be a big loss for them though

And potentially any player who is out of contract at the end of the season and who has signed a pre-contract with another team. Given the number of players who have deals that run out in the summer then that isn't beyond the realms of possibility either.

The dust only settles on things like loan players when the association either backs extensions to loans or doesn't. This might be a case where the dull but legally (usually) correct SFA turn round and inform the SFPL that"we told you..." and the end of season glamour fest/money spinner is in disrepute in year 2. Given QOS, Ross County, Dundee all played in the Cup final as Div 1 teams in recent years it's not beyond the wit of the administrators to conceive a team in the final and the play-offs. TBF that team could even had been The Rangers.
The lessons here are either accept contracts go beyond May or sort out the season better. How many mid-week games were there last year?

Ironically, it’s understood the five loan players from Newcastle – with three yet to play – are among those who’d be available as their deals run until later in June.

Reading the article in the Daily Ranger today I can't help but feel that we will be on the wrong end of yet another poor decision from an official so that we don't create this problem.
The corruption is blatant enough already.

Contracts usually expire 30th June so I suspect this is scaremongering from the media.
Someone once told me that hard work wouldn't kill me.
I thought: "Hell, why take the chance"!

The suggestion that some players will be on holiday is ridiculous, if any of our current team have more interest in being on holiday than getting promoted then they can go on holiday now.
We have loan players that technically have to go back to their parent club but going back serves no purpose to that parent club who is at that point on holiday with no training taking place, I am sure those clubs would be able to agree to an extended loan period.

I'm guessing that the Rangers' loan players will be contracted to remain at Ibrox for the maximum time possible so that Ashley can continue to wring cash from their dwindling resources.

I'm sure we'll be fine. As long as their registration is still with us it shouldn't be an issue. And registrations can't move anywhere until the next transfer window opens.

At the start of the season the final day of the season should have been set. Cast in stone, no excuses everything has to end on that day.
The Scottish Cup Final or the last play off game, whatever. When it became apparent that there might be an issue with dates it should have been resolved for all eventualities.
Doncaster is bombproof though, how many cock ups can one person get away with it.
